Reviews for All Four Seasons
by Tom Fallon, author of NOW
"The poems of Jim Mello will create connections in your consciousness as no other Maine poet probing the history of the human psyche. These are necessary poems for the fractured psyche of our speeding modern world."
by Ruth Redding Brand
"Mello touches the ordinary and transforms it into art...To read his poems is to experience the compassion of a counselor and the soul of a poet/priest. They soar with accurate allusions and unexpected metaphors, ever inviting the reader to come along and be blessed."
Sample from All Four Seasons
A Few Extra Blueberres
the P.E.T. scans that
display red holes in the cerebral cortex
of cannabis users
are not very encouraging
for those who admit inhaling
add in
the strange dance steps the brain pathways take
at this stage of so called maturation
and you have a recipe for paranoia
how many foreign languages do we
have to learn
to arrest the onslaught of entropy?
how many NYT crossowords do we have to puzzle over
to keep the demons of dementia at bay?
over my shoulder
Euell Gibbons’ ghost hovers
as a few extra blueberries are tossed
into my Grape-Nuts elixir
morning by anxious morning
